Off-Plan Property
Definition updated April 2026
What is off-plan property?
An off-plan property is a real estate development sold before construction is complete. Buyers purchase based on architectural drawings and specifications rather than a finished building, with completion timelines ranging from months to several years after purchase.
Off-plan sales are a significant segment of new-build markets, particularly in high-growth cities like Dubai where large-scale residential developments are the norm. Developers offer off-plan units at a discount as an incentive for buyers to commit early and help fund construction.
